Cobb County Homestead Exemptions Due March 1

01/11/08 | Vivian Lacy | Category: Atlanta Real Estate

Vivian Lacy Homeowners have until March 1 to apply for a homestead exemption for this tax year and may apply for homestead exemptions by mail. Applications must be received or U.S. postmarked (a metered postmark is not accepted as proof of timely mailing) by March 1 to receive the benefit of the exemption for that year.

Homeowners must apply for all exemptions for which they are eligible; thereafter, exemptions are automatically renewed each year unless there is a change in ownership or eligibility requirements are no longer met. It is not necessary to reapply if the home has been refinanced.

The applicant’s name must appear on the deed and they must occupy the property by January 1 of the taxable year in order to qualify. Most new property owners will receive an application by mail at the first of the year.

Application forms and information are available at the city's Web site, mariettaga.gov, or by calling 770-794-5680.

Cobb County homestead exemption information is available at cobbtax.org or 770-528-8600.
